What is the ground clearance of the BYD Dolphin?
2 Answers
BYD Dolphin ground clearance is 1000mm. BYD Dolphin: The BYD Dolphin is the first model in the Ocean series, the first model to use BYD's new logo, and the first model built on BYD's e-platform 3.0. The Dolphin boasts an ultra-long wheelbase of 2700mm, with interior space comparable to a B-segment car. Impact of ground clearance: Minimum ground clearance refers to the distance between the lowest point of the car (excluding the wheels) and the road surface when the car is fully loaded. It indicates the car's ability to overcome obstacles (such as stones, etc.). The smaller the ground clearance, the worse the ability to overcome obstacles. Sedans generally travel on flat urban roads, so they have small ground clearance. Off-road vehicles have larger minimum ground clearance to overcome larger obstacles.
I've been driving the BYD Dolphin for a while now, mainly for urban commuting with occasional rough roads. Its ground clearance is 170mm, a relatively high design that makes it unlikely to scrape the chassis on regular city roads or speed bumps. I've driven through some bumpy suburban sections several times, and the car passed steadily, feeling like the chassis was sufficiently far from the ground with light and easy handling. This height is very friendly for daily driving, especially on rainy days or when there's debris on the road, avoiding undercarriage damage. However, remember not to overload or have tire pressure too low, as it can reduce the clearance slightly. Overall, the 170mm clearance makes the Dolphin a great choice for a family electric vehicle, practical and worry-free. I recommend paying attention to this parameter during test drives—don't underestimate it, as it brings greater comfort.
